It was the second election for the NAACP presidency, after a similar result in September. Saturday's vote was under the control of Gill Ford, the NAACP national director for chapter compliance.

Challenger Rod Chapel said he is likely to contest Saturday's 29-28 result. He has tried since July to unseat Ratliff, who has held the presidency for 20 years. He says organization is not properly using technology and was not being aggressive enough in its advocacy.

What will receive my attention is when I see a reference to eating granddad ALONG WITH your misspelling of "public" in the same sentence. :)

We have a serious problem at University of Missouri System's second oldest campus: trying to spell the word "flagship," in reference to MU. It gets misspelled TWO ways. One misspelling involves a letter substitution while the other involves removal of one letter from the word "flagship." This has been going on for decades.
